If you are reading this, GLRP wishes you a hearty welcome! We are a roleplaying community centered around the Gurren Lagann universe. Thats right, giant freaking robots. We hope you enjoy the experience of GLRP and remember: "Go beyond the impossible, and kick reason to the curb! That's the Team Gurren way!"

If you are just starting out here, it might help to know these small pointers:

1. It is not mandatory but it will help a lot to actually have some knowledge about Gurren Lagann, watch the anime or read the manga. If you trully do not have time to dedicate yourself to this universe there is a Gurren Lagann wikipedia page and a Gurren Lagann wikia.

2. No G-Modding, what is G-Modding? G-Modding is short for God Modding.
"God Modding" is in essence when someone’s character has the ability to do practically anything without limits or boundaries. And example is when they simply cannot be harmed by any and all means other RP-ers try.

-It can be killing or injuring a character without the player's express permission.
-It can be when they simply can’t be hit and dodge all attacks or anything for this matter aimed at them.


-It can also be using other characters that other people RP with. In other words, if you do not RP as Kamina, then you cannot have Kamina say anything, or do anything, without the player's express permission. The absolute worst is when they make out another character to be what they’re not, just to make their own character seem superior.

They make others seem weak, screaming for help, when they’ve made it quite clear about their advantages and strengths. This is called power-play. It’s a strain of God-Modding, but instead of just being irritating, it’s offensive to boot.

Here is an example of G-Modding: Player A: Punches Player B
Player B: Dodges attack, grabs Player A and throws him. Player A flies at Player B, who warps behind him and slashes Player A in the back.


But enough about God Modding on to the next bit of information.

3. Don't metagame, metagaming is using knowledge gained out of character or OOC as you are roleplaying your character. For a short example, lets say Player 1 controlls Kamina and Player 2 controlls Simon. Player 1 tells player 2 that the gunmen's weak point is it's eye. Despite the fact Player 1 knows this there is no way for their characters to know. In the RP they are doing, Simon tells Kamina he is going to attack the gunmen's weak point the eye. Simon can not know this, all information your going to use has to be obtained IC.

You can also metagame by instantly knowing another characters name or history, being able to read someone else's internal monologue, knowing what that person is going to do next.

4. Please respect the staff working at GLRP, Don't be racist, and don't use double accounts.


That is all now just read up on what you need to make your character and you are set!
